The Town of Horizon City, TX Building Services Department requires contractors and subcontractors to file a $10,000 blanket building and construction bond before pulling permits in the town. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Contractor registration bonds like this are among the simplest things in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit section.
Small fixed contractor bonds like this are among the thousands that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Town of Horizon City Building Services Department alongside your Contractors License Registration Application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The Town of Horizon City, TX Building Services Department requires contractors and subcontractors engaged in the erection, alteration, repair, removal, demolition, or construction of buildings — or in electrical, gas, mechanical, or plumbing installation — to post a $10,000 blanket bond before permits issue. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your work to the town's building, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and gas codes.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Horizon City (the obligee), with the town and the public protected. If your work, or that of your agents, employees, or subcontractors, causes damage sustained by the city or by the person for whom the work is done through a failure to comply with the municipal code, the town can recover against the bond, subject to a two-year filing window after the work is completed.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to code treat the $10,000 bond as a registration formality, not a risk. We issue it for $100 flat, with no credit section on the application.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application has no credit section, because this bond does not need one.
